You need to corrupt the PST in order to try to recover from it. You will need a hexadecimal editor though.

I was working for an afterhours customer and instinctively emptied their Outlook deleted items folder. What a mistake. They needed some of the files, they just wanted them out of the inbox. I gotta watch that itchy delete finger. Any ideas? I know that a pst is really a little database file and stuff doesn't get deleted until you "compact" it. But how do you surface the deleted files again? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- We value your opinion! How may we serve you better?
